Darling and FunctionalJust opened my shipment and I love the BEE STOOL! It is darker than pictured...the legs are more solid in color with a black stain. The top of the stool is lighter, but more brown than shown. The carved bee is quite detailed. It will be next to my living room sofa to hold my coffee, but I see my grand daughters pulling it into the kitchen to get up onto the counter...their favorite place to gather! BEE HAPPY!

Cute design.This stand is nicely made. I really like the cute carved top. I'm placing the stand next to my leather chair and using it to hold my coffee cup and phone. The box came so well packed that it took me a while to unwrap -- not complaing because it arrived in perfect condition.

Even better in person!I ordered 2 of these and they are fantastic. They were packaged very well and are very high quality and unique. I had bought some cheap plastic step stools for my 3 year old because they were the only thing I could find besides the expensive stands with three steps that are heavy and hard to move. The bee stand is tall enough that it really helps her reach things but is very easy to move and it's adorable- not overly childish but cute enough that my little one likes it and i do too. It's also quite sturdy. Perfect!

Sweet Bee StandHaving my eye on this sweet little stand/stool for over a year, I finally decided I would find *some* place for it. It didn't hurt that I got it on sale either. ;) It's made well and is just as detailed and sweet as in the picture. I have set it on the floor in our great room by a long library table for now. The contrast of the two pieces of wood furniture is nice, and I like seeing it as I walk in the room.

Great little findPurchased for my mother-in-law for Christmas who is not fond of the real thing (bees) but loved this little stool. The natural color can fit in any decor and is just super cute. She plans on using it at both her main home and her summer lake home. May have to buy another for Mothers Day!!

I love it when form and function come together in such a nifty little package!I use this cute little bee stand as an extra surface when needed. It is also built well-enough to stand on when you need an extra bit of height. It's just over 10 inches tall and has an 11 inch circumference. Very happy to have this in my home!

AdorableI am very happy with this purchase. I bought two of these little stools in the dark brown, to use as needed as an extra place to set down a drink, etc. Well- made and a bit rustic, but they fit in fine with my English country decor.

Great little stool!Love this little "bee" stool! Is a nice little accent and has multiple uses...foot stool, drink stand, flower pot stand...whatever your needs or likes are. Did think that it was a bit darker from the photos and would have liked it to be a bit more "expresso" but it still is a color/stain that will work w/just about any or every decor. The price was great too when offered at a "special limited time" pricing. LOVE Ballard Designs!!

Great Deal!I, too, read the reviews before I ordered this cute little stool ~ and was ready to do battle with the over-staining. I took a soft white cloth and just rubbed the stool till the stain stopped staining the cloth. I can't imagine how it could do damage to anything now.
It's a great little stool. I have it between my chair and the wood stove and use it for everything from my feet to my drink to books and magazines.
The stain is more solid than shown and I actually like it better. . .not quite so busy!
This is the first time I've ordered from Ballard Designs. I'm very impressed with their products offered and their customer service.

Great, good-looking stool!I love this stool! It is darker than the picture depicts but I like how it looks better in person than in the picture. It sits as a decorative piece in my kitchen and is used quite often by my kids and me...very steady for a 5 year old to help me with cooking and also easily holds the weight of an adult to reach the top shelf of the cabinets. I am picky and particular about what I buy for my new kitchen. It is the perfect addition and serves a practical purpose as well.

Love it!I originally purchased this stool for my covered outdoor kitchen with high cabinets. I had to wait two extra months for delivery (popular item!), but it was worth the wait. It is very attractive - exactly as depicted - and extremely well constructed. I've decided to keep it indoors in my family room as an ottoman or an extra seat for a child. I've received many compliments on this charming accent piece.

Practical, whimsical all in onePurchased this sweet little stool for my bathroom. Sturdy construction to stand up to the needs of my grandchildren in the bathroom, and a great place for me to sit and referee bath time. When not in use it's the perfect perch for reading material for the throne! The price is right and delivery was timely. You won't be disappointed.

Cute, sturdy stool!I bought this stool as "this year's" Christmas gift for my in-laws. They raise bees and are the couple who have everything and need nothing so when I saw this I jumped on it. I checked it out when it came just to make sure it was all intact before putting it in the attic for the next few months... it is a really solid, sturdy piece that can be used or just displayed as a decoration. It's a really pretty little stool. My in-laws have many antiques but it would work with any design style! It'd even be cute in a nursery!
